I can’t tell you how glad I am to be released from the disgrace of Temu ACIP.

I made a commitment to watch and comment on these proceedings. Not sure I’ll do it again.

In summary, ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body.

Every U.S. state needs to decouple their vaccine policy from ACIP.

We had an ICE scare yesterday and even though we’re afraid of the repercussions of being vocal, we feel that it’s also important to inform people that this is right at our front door. ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. 

We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❀️

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING
TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT
ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S
APPALLING.

REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE
SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID
OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE
PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN
DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT
HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE.

WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS
COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT
THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE
CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS.

LOVE,
HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

The FIFA peace prize looks… like it ought to look actually. Rotting zombie hands holding up an earth composed of mouldering corpses, given by one of the globe’s most corrupt organizations to one of its most corrupt national leaders. Very nice.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

WaPo is so credulous here. I mean I’m just a regular guy not an award winning newspaper but something tells me the Trump admin won’t let it get to that point. I don’t think their commitment is actually to β€œfairness,” you guys might want to consider that

Phew, for a second there I thought the Democratic establishment badly miscalculated by steadfastly supporting an immoral war that killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians, and then by scolding young voters for caring about those civilians, but it’s good to know it was everyone else’s fault

This is outrageous. I'm no lawyer, but this appears to be a textbook violation of the First Amendment.

A ban on women's and Black students' publications brought to you by the state that banned the NAACP in 1956.

I've been arguing that they are segregationists, and they keep confirming.

Obv I don’t want Americans to die in foreign wars which is yet another reason our pointless invasion of Afghanistan was a mistake. And cmon, Afghanistan was never going to do anything but supply the raw material for liberal capitalism in other places. You think Cheney was feeling altruistic?

Ah, Good Old War Propaganda Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Ah, Good Old War Propaganda

The mass media do this every time the US empire gets war-horny. And the Murdoch press are always the most egregious offenders.

Btwn 50,000 & 200,000 innocent Afghans were killed. We were there 20 years without improving the country one bit. It went right back to the Taliban once we left. Massive mistake.
